Redding and Danbury are among the municipalities receiving state funding for various projects.  The Bond Commission met yesterday. 

11 police departments, including Redding, will be reimbursed for the purchase of body cameras and video storage devices.  Redding was approved to receive $28,830. 

The Danbury Housing Authority will receive $2.1 million for renovations to the Fairfield Ridge apartments.  58 units will be rehabilitated.  State Representative Bob Godfrey says this is a step in the right direction to make sure the public housing development can serve working families for years to come. 

Fairfield Ridge was Danbury’s first public housing project, built after World War II. The bonding will provide for substantial renovations to the interior of apartment units.  The moderate-rent apartment rehabilitation is being done as part of Connecticut’s State-Sponsored Housing Portfolio Revitalization Initiative.
